The Jekyll Island Fire & EMS wishes to notify all of our water customers that the Fire Department will be testing the Islands fire hydrants beginning the October 10, 2008 through the middle of November weather permitting. What does this mean to the individual customer? It means that when the hydrants are being tested in your area, you may temporarily experience dirty or rust colored water immediately following the test. If you do notice this, allow an outside faucet to run for a few minutes until the water is clear. The Jekyll Island Fire & EMS firmly believes in regularly conducting the fire hydrant testing program to assure our citizens’ safety. We sincerely hope that this message will be shared with all of our customers and hope that any problems associated with “dirty” water will be minor. We wish to thank each resident for his or her cooperation and understanding of our hydrant-testing program. If you have any questions regarding the hydrant-testing program, please call the Jekyll Island Fire & EMS at 912-635-2930/4035.
